3. Enter your network’s settings on the Network Settings screen, which appears next.
If your network has a DHCP server (or Router), click the radio button next to Obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP) and click the Next button to continue.
If your network does not have a DHCP server (or router), click the radio button next to Specify the IP
address. Enter an IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and DNS appropriate for your network.
Enter each address in this format: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (the x’s represent the numbers that make up each address).
You must specify the IP Address and Subnet Mask on this screen. If you are unsure about the Default Gateway
and DNS addresses, then leave these fields alone.
IP Address - This IP Address must be unique to your network.
Subnet Mask - The Adapter’s Subnet Mask must be the same as your wired network’s Subnet Mask.
Default Gateway - Enter the IP address of your network’s Gateway here.
DNS - Enter the DNS addresses of your network here.
Click the Next button to continue or the Cancel button to return to the previous screen.

4. The Wireless Mode screen shows a choice of two wireless modes. Click the Infrastructure Mode radio
button if you want to connect to a wireless router or access point, and continue to Step 6. Click the Ad-Hoc
Mode radio button if you want to connect to another wireless device directly without using a wireless router
or access point. Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.
SSID - The SSID is the unique wireless network name shared among all devices in your wireless network. The
SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32
alphanumeric characters, which can be any keyboard character.
Infrastructure Mode - This mode allows wireless and wired networks to communicate through a wireless
router or access point. Continue to Step 6 if selecting this mode.
Ad-Hoc Mode - This mode allows wireless-equipped computers to communicate directly with each other. No
access point or wireless router is used.

5. The Ad-Hoc Mode Settings screen, for those who chose an Ad-hoc network, will appear next. Select the
correct operating channel for your network from the Channel drop-down menu. Then, select the Network
Mode from the drop-down menu. Click the Next button to continue or click the Back button to change any
settings.
Channel - The channel you choose should match the channel set on the other devices in your wireless
network. If you are unsure about which channel to use, leave the default channel.
Network Mode - Select Mixed Mode, and both Wireless-G and Wireless-B computers will be allowed on the
network, but the speed will be reduced. Select G-Only Mode for maximum speed, but no Wireless-B users
will be allowed on the network.

6. Select the method of security that is used on your wireless network: WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal,
WPA-Enterprise, or RADIUS. WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected
Access. WPA is a stronger security method than WEP. WPA2 is a newer and stronger version of WPA. RADIUS
stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service. WPA-Enterprise and RADIUS use a RADIUS server.
Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen. For more information
about the information on this screen, you can also click the Help button.
If you don’t want to use encryption, select Disabled and then click the Next button to continue. Proceed to
Step 9.
7. Proceed to the appropriate section for your security method: WEP, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPAEnterprise, or RADIUS.

WEP
WEP - Select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption from the drop-down menu.
Passphrase - Enter a passphrase in the Passphrase field, so a WEP key is automatically generated. It is casesensitive and should not be longer than 16 alphanumeric characters. This passphrase must match the
passphrase of your other wireless network devices and is compatible with Linksys wireless products only. (If
you have any non-Linksys wireless products, enter the WEP key manually on those products.)
WEP Key - The WEP key you enter must match the WEP key of your wireless network. For 64-bit encryption,
enter exactly 10 hexadecimal characters. For 128-bit encryption, enter exactly 26 hexadecimal characters.
Valid hexadecimal characters are “0” to “9” and “A” to “F”.
Advanced Users
TX Key - The default transmit key number is 1. If your network’s access point or wireless router uses transmit
key number 2, 3, or 4, select the appropriate number from the TX Key drop-down box.
Authentication -The default is set to Auto, so it will auto-detect for Shared Key or Open System
authentication. For Shared Key authentication, both the sender and the recipient share a WEP key for
authentication. For Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do not share a WEP key for
authentication. If you are not sure which authentication method to select, keep the default, Auto.
Figure 5-18: Profiles - Wireless Security - WEP
Click the Next button to continue, or click the Back button to return to the previous screen.
WPA Personal
WPA Personal offers two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select TKIP or
AES for encryption. Then enter a Passphrase that is 8-63 characters in length.
Encryption - Select the type of algorithm you want to use, TKIP or AES, from the Encryption drop-down
menu.
Passphrase - Enter a Passphrase, also called a pre-shared key, of 8-63 characters in the Passphrase field.
The longer and more complex your Passphrase is, the more secure your network will be.
Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.

WPA Enterprise
WPA Enterprise features WPA security used in coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used
when a RADIUS server is connected to the Router.) WPA Enterprise offers two authentication methods, EAPTLS and PEAP, as well as two encryption methods, TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys.
Authentication - Select the authentication method your network is using, EAP-TLS or PEAP.
EAP-TLS
If you selected EAP-TLS, enter the login name of your wireless network in the Login Name field. Enter the
name of the authentication server in the Server Name field (this is optional). From the Certificate drop-down
menu, select the certificate you have installed to authenticate you on your wireless network. Select the type
of encryption, TKIP or AES, from the Encryption drop-down menu.
Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.

PEAP
If you selected PEAP, enter the login name of your wireless network in the Login Name field. Enter the
password of your wireless network in the Password field. Enter the name of the authentication server in the
Server Name field (this is optional). From the Certificate drop-down menu, select the certificate you have
installed to authenticate you on your wireless network; if you want to use any certificate, keep the default
setting, Trust Any. Then select the authentication method used inside the PEAP tunnel, EAP-MSCHAP v2 or
Generic Token Card. Select the type of encryption, TKIP or AES, from the Encryption drop-down menu.
Click the Next button to continue or the Back button to return to the previous screen.

RADIUS
RADIUS features use of a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to the
Router.) RADIUS offers two authentication types: EAP-TLS and PEAP.
Authentication - Select the authentication method your network is using, EAP-TLS or PEAP.
EAP-TLS
If you selected EAP-TLS, enter the login name of your wireless network in the Login Name field. Enter the
name of the authentication server in the Server Name field (this is optional). From the Certificate drop-down
